Men will be given all the tools they need to saw through social barriers and discover a new hobby.

A special wooden workshop has been built in the grounds of the centre and volunteers have collected donations of equipment and materials.

The workshop is for men to socialise and carry out DIY activities, such as building coffee tables, bird tables and other small items.

Surrey county councillor for Caterham Valley, Sally Marks, hammered home the message, adding: "It's warm, it's cosy. I have met some of the gentlemen who are going to come here and they look as pleased as punch and I can't wait to see what they are going to make."

The centre hopes more volunteers to crawl out of the woodwork in order to help supervise sessions. For more information call Stella Banks on 01883 347230, send an email
